Can you be pregnant if are spotting only 7 days after your period?

It is possible to get pregnant at any point during your menstrual cycle, including the week after your period ends. However, women are usually most fertile in the days leading up to ovulation which usually occurs about 14 days before the start of your next period.

Spotting or light bleeding can be a sign of implantation bleeding which occurs when the fertilised egg implants itself into the wall of your uterus. This usually occurs about 10 to 14 days after ovulation. If you are concerned that you may be pregnant, it is important to take a pregnancy test to confirm.
